A Definitive Guide to (Nearly) Every Supreme Sneaker Release
Supreme does not make its own sneakers. The New York label instead chooses to team up with a select few footwear brands it has established a strong relationship with since its founding in 1994. So when someone talks about Supreme sneakers, they are most likely referring to a collaborative project with the likes of Vans, Timberland, Nike, Clarks Originals, or Swoosh subsidiary Jordan Brand.
Supreme’s co-sign is usually enough to guarantee a sell-out when the collaborative sneakers are released, which is why it’s not hard to imagine that Supreme could have its pick of both sportswear and lifestyle sneaker brands to collaborate with. Still, the aforementioned brands — with the exception of Louis Vuitton in 2017 — have become Supreme’s main footwear collaborators over the years.
The Nike x Supreme collaborations, for example, started during the golden age of Nike SB, when Dunk Lows were the hottest sneaker property in the early to mid ’00s. Since then, the partnership has flourished, with Nike often using Supreme to relaunch a forgotten silhouette in limited numbers before a range of general releases follow. The Nike x Supreme Air Humara or the Nike x Supreme Air Max Tailwind 4 are perfect examples of this strategy. In the early days, Supreme Nike collabs were less frequent than they are now. Nowadays, Supreme and Nike collaborate on two projects every season, bringing the grand total of collaborative releases to four yearly.
Supreme’s Vans collaborations on the other hand, are sometimes used as a blank canvas for three-way collaborations with other artists or designers. The Supreme x Jean Paul Gaultier x Vans collaboration is an example of graphics or signature aesthetics from a third party being printed on an existing Vans model. Due to Vans own aesthetic identity and penchant for crazier designs, Supreme will often utilize some of its more famous graphics — such as its diamond plate graphic or cheetah print — on Vans sneakers.
With so many collaborators and a seemingly endless list of Supreme sneaker collaborations, it can be hard to keep track of all the releases. That’s why we’ve put together a list of the most important Supreme sneakers for you below.
Supreme x Jean Paul Gaultier x Vans Chukka Pro and Era Pro
Brand: Supreme x Jean Paul Gaultier x Vans
Model: Chukka Pro and Era Pro
Key Features: Both styles come with a floral print on canvas uppers rendered in either black/burgundy or black/pink colorways. Leather lining and a co-branded insole complete the look.
Release Date: April 2019
Buy: Chukka Pro (StockX), Era Pro (StockX)
Editor’s Notes: The three-way collaboration comprised a Chukka Pro and Era Pro, both of which feature distinct color-blocking and a floral print along the toe box, sides, and heels. Each style arrived in two colorways: a burgundy/black iteration and a lighter black/pink version.
Jean Paul Gaultier is considered by many to be one of the most influential designers of all time. As the designer explained to The New Yorker, Gaultier’s inspirations include “flesh, ethnicity, different kinds of global beauty, cinema, my interest with Madonna, tattoos, the Parisienne, the male as an object.” His designs bring together punk, bondage, and divergent global communities, all of which are reflected in this collection for Supreme.
The Vans sneakers dropped alongside an extensive collection consisting of a double-breasted blazer, cargo suit pants, cargo suit vest, double breasted plaid faux fur coat, reversible backpack MA-1 jackets, trucker jackets, rayon shirts, jeans, sweatshirts, sweatpants, a leather holster, and several accessories.

Release Date: March 2020 (ongoing throughout the SS20 season)
Price: $96
Buy: Supreme
Editor’s Notes: Supreme confirmed the Nike Air Force 1 sneaker will be restocked regularly throughout the season, drawing comparisons to Supreme’s Hanes boxer briefs and other accessories that are available all season long. Whether this Air Force 1 will replace one of the SS20 season’s Nike collaborations is yet to be seen.
Supreme x Vans Slip-On Pro

Buy: StockX
Editor’s Notes: Supreme unveiled its second collaboration of the SS19 season with famed skateboarding label Vans. This time, the duo dressed two classic styles — the Sk8-Hi Pro and Slip-On Pro — in a diamond plate graphic, which adorned the upper of both shoes. The same graphic has been used on several previous pieces, including a bandana and a tool box.

Model: Sk8-Hi Pro “Diamond Plate”

Jordan and Supreme co-branding features prominently on the shoe. Contrasting midsole panels round off the maximalist aesthetic. The design is said to have been inspired by a studded leather jacket worn by Michael Jordan at one of his ceremony appearances in 1995.
Release Date: June 2019
Buy: White pair (StockX), Black pair (StockX)
Editor’s Notes: Supreme and Jordan Brand teamed up for a rework of the fabled Air Jordan 14 model.

Inspired by the basketball legend’s love of luxury cars, the AJ XIV is also the last signature model worn on court by Jordan with the Chicago Bulls.
Supreme x Nike SB Dunk Low

Editor’s Notes: Supreme and Nike have worked together every season without fail since 2012, even upping their collective output to two releases per season from 2017 onwards.

Editor’s Notes: For the second time in 2019, Supreme and Clarks teamed up on a reimagination of the Wallabee shoe.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much are Supreme sneakers?
Supreme sneakers release at retail for competitive prices. However, due to their limited and coveted nature, Supreme sneakers usually sell out quickly and then can only be bought on the resell market, usually at a premium.
How do you authenticate Supreme sneakers?
To protect yourself from unintentionally buying fake Supreme, a good rule is to only buy directly from Supreme's online shop or physical stores. Several resell marketplaces exist that do their best to verify goods such as StockX and GOAT.
If you own a pair and you're not sure if the Supreme sneakers are real or fake, check for colors that are too bright or too dark, faulty stitching or shape, or an unevenly spaced inner sole logo.
Where do you buy Supreme sneakers?
With 11 Supreme stores around the world, the New York skate brand attempts to make its products as accessible as possible, while staying true to its artificially low supply business model. You can purchase Supreme sneakers online from Supreme's webstore with shipping to the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union and Japan.
